Exploratron 9000 wishes to explore this world. Before doing so, however, he decides to correct the ship's woeful lack of metal by releasing 5 metal sheets to the ship's inventory, along with a note saying, "Please take one only."

22Good deed done for the day, you proceed to have a look around outside to see if anything interesting is out there. However, you find absolutely nothing of interest; just trees, grass and bushes.
+22 Explore EXP (level up)Wait, so if I wanted to cut a tree down, it would do me just as much good to use an axe as it would to karate chop it? There isn't a roll penalty for karate chopping a tree down? Oh well, I'm still ineffectually equipping the syringe, if only because it is fitting. Then I'll change my turn to gathering plant dna with my mind.

After securing the enormous syringe to your back you go out and investigate the local plant life. Very strange stuff, this. It almost seems to shy away from your touch, as if contact with solid matter would hurt it, and it's almost transparent, though more in the sense that a thin mist is transparent than glass. How bizarre. Reaching out and grasping the very core of its being with your power, you extract its DNA sequence. The unfortunate bush immediately begins to wither away.
+69 DNA Harvesting EXP
+1 ethereal bush DNA sequence !base influence 82!James: Gather plants - grass, if possible.
15You thought this would be simple enough. Jump off the ship, grab some grass, hop back on. Problems began to arise when the grass seemed to not actually exist as more than an image. You see it, it deforms under your feet, but you can't pick it, or grasp it with your powers. How strange. You return to the Ark thoroughly confused.
+15 Herb Gathering EXPGather
Cut Down a few trees for lumber.
28What in the world is going on with these trees? No matter what you try, you're unable to cut into them. It's like they're repelling your power. You return to the ship somewhat disheartened.
+28 Wood Gathering EXPLook for a box that you can use to put the egg in a confortable temperature for it to hatch.
Craft an animal out of an egg.

CRITICAL FAILYou look around for a box, but you're unable to find one, so you simply heat up the egg in your hands in the hope that it'll hatch.
Have you ever heard of balut? Because you just created the dinosaur version. You incinerate it in disgust, and Maui fines you for "creating something that should never have existed in any universe".
+10 Animal Breeding EXP
-1 egg of indeterminate origin [53]
-33 InfluenceClaim one metal sheet and go gather ethereal protein (eggs, insects, alive animals, dead animals, whatever else)
16Much like Alexander's attempt yesterday, you are unable to find any signs of life. Even the footprints of your fellow creators are almost gone already.
+16 Animal Capture EXPWell, I guess I'll be needing some herbs.
30This world is getting to be rather unnerving, you decide as you wander about in complete silence. You can't find anything worth taking back; just the untouchable grass and the creepy trees.
+30 Herb Gathering EXP57
By all accounts it seems like a peaceful woodland scene, such as you might find on Earth. Or at least it would if all the plant life didn't apear to be not quite there. And if the shapes moving in the distance weren't both enormous and pitch black.
